This is a long-term project to catalog and reconstruct fossil plants and ecosystems of the Mesozoic, in order to try to imagine better what this era was like when dinosaurs dominated these habitats.
See my Patreon page Mesophyticum for continuously uploaded content. I thought this would be better than trying to publish the material as a book, since my material is extensive.
